Have you mapped the control surface, retract, and throttle servos against an F6F? Parallel home runs or serial bus?

....................................

Steve,

You should plan on attending the Bomber Field B-17 and Big Bird event beginning September 15th. You will find no fewer than twenty
to thirty warbirds for sale...cheap. There is always an F6F for sale... ;^)

....................................

I have not seen our vendor list for this year but it is typically 25 to 30...selling every brand of whatever you need. Where in Louisiana
you? There are a gaggle of Louisiana pilots who attend each year. Our pilot head count is typically 300 to 350 with at least 300 planes.
We had over 250 at our warbird in June. Because of the virus we have been about the only large scale event within 800 miles. 

.....................................the

Ed,
Someday I’d like to attend Bomber Field. Can you bring an RV &/or camp on the field? Nearby hotels in case my wife attends (her idea of roughing it up is a hotel suite)?
Gary

Sorry wasnt paying attention to see.that you had the 60 on yours. 2 or 3 blade and are you getting good flying speed without going full throttle?


Compared to a foamy it is under powered. Most say its fine and as fast as most other airplanes. Its vertical is compromised compared to other planes but its a heavy girl 34 pounds i think at last weigh in....22x10 2 blade prop.
For the investment in everything else a TX upgrade is worthwhile too a 8 channel isn't going to be enough unless you run y cables. My engine setups take 3 channels alone. Look at my thread on the iX12 and iX20. I'm pretty happy with the iX20 I'm currently using.
